I'd like to create a login page for my website for viewing certain areas.
I'm running a unix server, i've been writing HTML for 5 days now... A total novice. Embarrassed

I've searched this forum and i've managed to "create" a login page with script borrowed from This Thread

I only want to have 1 username with 1 password.
But i dont understand how it works...
Where do i put the accepted username and passwords? Confused

Thanks in advance.

You can specify where http passwords are stored through your .htaccess file if you want.

E.g.

Code:



AuthType Basic

AuthName "Protected Directory"

AuthUserFile "/home/accountname/.htpasswds/passwd"

require valid-user

If this is not enough information you should probably be talking to your server admin, as 5 days "HTML" experience isn't going to be much use for *nix and if you don't know *nix you should probably have a server admin who does.
